As more condolence messages continued to pour in for the late
Pastor Dimgba Igwe, Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory
(FCT), Senator Smart Adeyemi, has demanded an investigation into his death.
Adeyemi, a former National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ),
said in Abuja yesterday that security agents must unravel the circumstances of
Igwe’s death, which he described as confusing and inexplicable. This was just
as the South-South Media Professionals (SSMP) gave the police 72 hours to fish
out the killer. President of the group, Mr. Asu Beks, who spoke during a
condolence visit to the corporate headquarters of The Sun Publishing Limited in
Lagos, said it was not enough for the police to make promises. Also, Dean,
School of Media and Communication, Pan Atlantic University, Dr. Mike Okolo, who
led other officers of the school on condolence visit to The Sun office, said
Igwe’s death could have been avoided, lamenting that his death revealed a
failed condition of the society in all aspects. He said: The killer is nowhere
to be found, the hospital did not help; and nothing just worked. It is a stark
reality of what the situation in the country is, but we are not going to lose
faith, but to continue to do what we know how to do better. We need to continue
to teach and write it that something needs to be done in our country, Nigeria.
It is very sad that situation you can clearly avoid, but you end up running
round in a circle without any progress. Dr. Isa Momoh, who was part of the
delegation, advised the company to compile Igwe’s articles to be published as a
book, saying that would continue to renew his contributions in the minds of
Nigerians, and could serve as a literature for young Nigerians.
